In the article “Just whom is this Divorce good for? By Marquart she explains, “We found that children of so- called “good” divorces often do worse even than children of unhappy low- conflict marriages. They say more often, that family life was stressful and they had to grow up to soon. They are themselves more likely to divorce and children of divorce feel like divided selves”. I would have to agree with that because I am actually going through my parents getting a divorce and when I found out I didn’t want to believe it at all I didn’t want to see my parents split up it just wasn’t right to me.
Children are affected by the divorce more if the parents have custody hearings or move away from each other. The decision to terminate an unhappy marriage through obtaining a divorce is almost never an easy decision. It is usually reached only after other options and alternatives have been carefully considered and then rejected as non-viable
Divorce not only has a lot of complicated causes, but also has many effects. Effects on children, women, and men. The strongest reason that causes divorce is infidelity. This may be the most damaging thing that can happen to a marriage couple. The cause of infidelity is rather dissatisfaction with the lack of intimacy between couples.
Divorce is tragic on many levels and all too often the impact on children is more then just the shock of their parents living in two different places. Other then “deal breakers” which could have physical or psychological damage to a child, society needs to take another look at why they are getting
Many of the statistics he gives show that a child raised outside of a stable habitat has higher chances of illegal drug usage, teenage pregnancy, and emotional and behavioral issues. Do to the lack of commitment in modern relationships, divorce has become very prevalent in America. Santorum proposes that the main reason for the high rate of divorce is directly linked to the fact that husband and wife are more focused on making sure that they are happy as individuals, rather than on a family unit. This in turn, leaves the child feeling unloved and uncared for, in-turn leading to social issue. Living
Divorce “ Teenagers in Trouble” Stress is basically defined as an applied force to strain a body; a mentally or emotionally upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health. Teenagers now days have had a lot of stress because of a lot of different reasons. However, the main things in my opinion that cause stress for teenagers are peer pressure and more importantly family problems(for example: divorce). Such stresses put teenagers in problems where they make life decisions that can be very risky. Many books were interesting regarding child stress but particularly “The Romance of Risk” by Dr. proton was very amazing.
The divorce rate has climbed to a point where almost half of all marriages end in divorce. Unfortunately, when parents are in conflict, children are often caught in the middle. For some of these children, the repercussions are disturbing and long-term, leading to lower educational attainment and occupational success, poorer social integration, increased behavioral difficulties and psychological distress, and more problematic marriages after reaching adulthood. Different views have influenced remarkable transformations to occur, altering the landscape of the family unit, including changes in economic well-being, family relationships and structure, and gender roles. For instance, the Marxist view of the family was developed from a class analysis of society.
In many divorce cases children are involved. Almost all divorcing parents try to keep the children out of it, but it is nearly impossible to avoid involving the children. Divorce greatly increases many types of bad effects on the children involved in the divorce, including psychological problems, juvenile delinquency, suicide, undereducation, and teenage pregnancies. Problems arise from conflict during and after divorce more than from conflict during the marriage. There is an increased incidence of emotional and physical damage even if the divorce is low-conflict.
The family structure can be affected by the proliferation of divorce. This fact is illustrated today by the well-publicized "crisis" of marriage and family in our own society. Which have led to a "breakdown" of the family, and that this, in turn, will eventually lead to the breakdown of society itself. There are various forms or families now including: “Childless couple; defacto couples, homosexual partnership, single families, long-term foster children... etc and now laws are needed to ensure a stability of the family unit. One possible definition of a family might be a group of people who share a close emotional and financial bond.
In this case, child still can have good understanding of various situations and be able to grow with the right vision of the family. The situation is different and more complicated in the families that have gone through the challenges of divorce. Child, whose parents got divorced, goes through significant emotional shock and re-evaluation of the core values and moral principles. In the majority of cases, divorce causes a lot of negative emotions between parents that cannot be hidden from a child and, consequently, it goes deeply into the mind and mentality of a child. Negative aspects and attributes of divorce, such as discussions on the parental control, cruel scenes between parents and negligent attitude towards the child, as proven by the empirical research data, influence future behavioral patterns of this child and create dysfunctional attitude and relationships in his or her own family.
